I have been wrestling with a problem, I am trying to change the url of an Iframe from a simple selection box, once the user selects the desired url they wish to visit from the main page the iframe then loads the url while not affecting the main page. I am using the onchange event of the select tag to drive the javascript function hopefully passing the value of the selection wich in this case is the url to the independant script wich will in turn will change the src of the iframe from the default page that is loaded when first viewing the page.One question I have is would it be better to use the onload event to set the initial src then use the onchange event form the select to change the src or staticly set the src then use the onchange event to change it? below is an example of my code so far. Also currently whenever I try to pass teh value to the script I get an object expected error and nothing happens.Bear in mind I know enough C++ to make myself dangerous and can stay on top javascript to a point but right now I am just lost. just need a nudge in the right direction at this point please :D
I discovered how to write out the inner HTML of the contents of an Iframe; I want to know how to write out the outerHTML of the contents of an Iframe.
frames['iframeid'].document.body.innerHTML allows me to read the inner HTML of the contents of an iframe and also allows me to write out the inner HTML of the contents of an iframe.
However using frames['iframeid'].document.body.innerHTML I am only able to change, in the contents of the iframe, the code in between and including the body tags; I am not able to change the code above the body tag such as what is in the head section and what is in the html tag.
The problem is, that other maneuvers that allow me to read the contents of an iframe, do NOT allow me to write out the contents of the iframe. These are:
The problem persists if the page originally loaded into the iframe contains no code.
This looks like an unpredictable inconsistency of the type that makes Javascript a language to be learned through experimentation. Or is there some documentation somewhere that lists the read/write abilities of such lines of code?
I created a page that has an iframe on it. Within this iframe I call an asp page. The asp page is supposed to do some work and then update the innerHTML of a <div> object on the parent page to indicate that processing of the page in the iframe is complete. The code works in IE but not FireFox. I am wondering what is the best way to make the script work for both browsers?
I do not much understand what is going on. The iframe is transparent in all browsers but IE. I need to change the background color in IE, of my iframe and cannot figure it out. My code is below. It is pulling from an external file exfile.js.
I have found a method which works in FireFox (2 - 3.6) & Mozilla but obviously it is not generic and IE is proving difficult to provide an attribute I can change. This (in essence) is what I am doing. I do have CSS styles and set the background (fixed, repeated) there in a style called body. The one below is an exapmple - I change the URL of the IFRAME contents several times before dumping the filtered table in the innerHTML. This leaves the background as the last one set.
pageone.htm has an iframe with pagetwo.htm inside pagetwo has a form with a hidden field that has a dynamic value.I'm trying to get that value from pageone.htm using:var myid = window.frames['myiframe'].document.forms['myform'].elements['page'].value; This is working, but I just get the value that the field had when I did:
setInterval('alert(GetValue())', 9000);
for the first time. All the alerts after the first one have the same value even when myid is changing in pagetwo.htm (tested alerting it in there).I thought that by using setInterval I would be checking for a fresh value every 9 seconds but what I get is the same old value every 9 seconds
///// pageone.htm ///// <script type="text/javascript"> function GetValue() {[code]......
Would like to say right away that I'm a massive newbie on this and the project below is something I'm creating for others but also to help me learn at the same time. First of all I have my Index file. This contains 3 divs (MainDiv TopDiv and BottomDiv) in which I load iframes onto using innerhtml using this code.
function loadPageX(pageAddress,containerID { var el=document.getElementById(containerID) el.innerHTML="<iframe src="" + pageAddress + ""height="100%" frameborder="0" width="100%" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true"></iframe>"
I have a "contact us" <a> with the id 'contact' on the main page, which is supposed to change the source file of an iframe to the contact page. Except when I click on "contact us" nothing happens.
I've tried to get this to work several different ways, and suspect that the problem is purely syntax, but I just haven't been able to figure it out.
The setIFrame function is used to call the content initially when the page loads, and is working beautifully in that context. You can see the problem in action at the actual site: [URL]
Basically, I'm trying to make a "chat-like" updater with javascript.
html.html includes the following:
<html> <head> <script> var t;
function getData () { document.getElementById("dataStore").href = "test2.html"; }
function update (message) { getData (); document.getElementById("txt").innerHTML= message; t = setTimeout ("update ()",1000); } </script> </head> <body onload="getData()"> <div id="txt">hello</div> <script id="dataStore" type="text/javascript"></script> </body> </html> The file that it should get variables from is from test2.html, which is below:
var updateData = "hello!dasd";
update (updateData); For this example, basically - I want javascript to change the "hello" in test.html to "hello!dasd" found in a variable in test2.html. This should keep asking for new updates from test2.html (which will be dynamic with php).
I am looking at ways of altering the appearance of web pages by calling alternate external stylesheets. This has obvious use in catering for accessibility issues.
There are existing sites that offer the facility to change font size, font colour, background colour, but these use server-side code. I would like to do this using client-side code, because I want to intergrate this with an HTML-based virtual learning environment (VLE) that is unlikely to accept server-side code.
I can obviously call a second stylesheet, which overrides that called in the <head> part of the HTML code. However, I cannot do this by user control using an <a href "javascript" ... call.
What is going wrong? As I have indicated in the comments in the file, the 'document.write' statement works in its own right to call a new CSS file. The function also works in its own right. However, the href doesn't do what I expected.
However, that is just the start. If I can get this to work, I would like a way of passing the 'new' stylesheet to other pages, so that the user selects their options once and then sees the same appearance in all pages in the VLE.
Is there a way to change the displayed text on a web page using some combination of Javascript and DHTML? NOT in a text box. As far as I know (with my limited knowledge) the only way you can do this is with a textbox or images, which is not what I'd like to do. There's gotta be a way to do this, right?
I would like to be able to write some code in Javascript preferably (PHP is also all right) which allows the admin of a website to be able to change stylesheet attributes from a GUI browser interface without having them to change the text file themselves. (i.e., working on the supposition that the admin is IT illiterate). Simple things like table heading colours, backgrounds, font sizes need to be changed this way.
The browser should then read from the changed textfile the next time the site is refreshed and it should therefore be permanent. Is this at all possible? If so, how do I update the textfile?
when the image is clicked with the mouse, function func1 is invoked as expected. When I call function changeFunction, I want to change the code that is invoked when the image is clicked from func1 to func2. Instead, both are invoked because addEventListener and attachEvent add an additional handler instead of setting one.
I am looking for a way to change the handler from one function to another. Can anyone think of a solution probably using removeEventListener?
how would i go about changing the background of a row in a table that has colums when a check box is clicked...i can change the colour of a single column but how can i change all the columns in a row? ive heard about this "get prarentnode" thing but i dont know how to use it.
I have a question if it is possible to manipulate the settings of character encoding in Ms Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0. The problem is that the default instalation of Ms IE seems to have hard selected default encoding to "Western European (ISO)", which means iso-8859-1. When browsing pages with some Central/Eastern European characters these are converted to iso-8859-1 so displayed wrong.
I would suppose the "auto-select" option should be default, so the browser can select the right encoding according to the meta-tags in the head of webpage. But this is apparently not true.
Please, is it possible to use JavaScript or Java applet to get the information about the current client character encoding settings and/or change it to the "auto-select" value ? How to do this ?
I have two text boxes one with months in "January, Febuary..." but as not every month has the same ammount of days i need the second select box to change to instead of having options 1-30 it has 1-28 or what ever depending on what month is selected.
For a application I am writting I need to make some table columns apear and disapear by clicking on a link. I do this by changing the "style" property in the <td> tag.
The HTML is generated by ASP.NET, which automaticly sets the style property of the <td> tag to the right value. and makes links to the right Javascript function call to change a specific property.
